Blake Shelton tricks Adam Levine into purchasing an unusual pet

In an unexpected turn of events, pop star Adam Levine found himself in a humorous predicament, all thanks to a teacup pig prank orchestrated by his fellow Voice coach, Blake Shelton.

During an appearance on Hot Ones, Levine shared a story that took him back to a time when he was dating model Behati Prinsloo. It was then that Prinsloo expressed a desire for a pet teacup pig, a request that Shelton, apparently, was more than happy to fulfil.

However, the teacup pig that was promised turned out to be a potbellied pig, a breed known for growing significantly larger than expected. The pig, which was described as a 'teacup' pig, ended up weighing a whopping 400 pounds, far from the diminutive size Levine had imagined.

Levine, expressing his concerns about the unexpected growth of the pig, wondered what would have happened if the pig had grown to that size in his house. It was later revealed that Shelton had known the pig would grow larger than expected but chose not to inform Levine.

In the end, the pig was given to someone else just three weeks after Levine and Prinsloo had taken it in. The incident serves as a cautionary tale for potential pet owners, highlighting the importance of doing thorough research before making a commitment.

The term 'teacup pig' is often used by some breeders to mislead buyers into thinking they will get a tiny pig that stays small. In reality, there is no such breed as a teacup pig. Potbellied pigs, like the one Levine encountered, can grow to hundreds of pounds, much larger than the 'teacup' size promised.

Despite the initial surprise and subsequent giving away of the pig, Levine's story is a light-hearted reminder of the importance of accurate information and realistic expectations when it comes to pet ownership. And as for the connection to his hit song Girls Like You, that remains a mystery.
